With the return of the Premier League this weekend, it’s the perfect pretext to enjoy the legendary frontman from The Fall Mark E. Smith reading the football classified results in his inimitable style.

“The epic scale of this book is as awe-inspiring as the buildings. All are accompanied by minimal - yet informative - captions and fascinating contextual quotations from the likes of #JonathanMeades, #JohnGrindrod and Elaine Harwood.”

DELIVERANCE was released 53 years ago today. John Boorman’s brutal tale of naïve city boys in an unfamiliar environment continues to cause controversy to this day. The behind-the-scenes story was as dangerous as its subject matter…

Morning I am still supporting this campaign & shocked that Government officials have issued permits to British hunters who shot cheetahs allowing them to bring their ‘trophies’ back to the UK. British hunters are being given permission by the government to bring home trophies of other endangered wildlife, such as African elephants & leopards. Indeed, they are killing a wide range of threatened species, including hippopotamuses, giraffes, wolves, wild cats and monkeys, whilst lions hand reared as cubs are being shot by British trophy hunters.
There is a lack of government action in the face of this scandalous situation that horrifies the vast majority of Britons. Labour rightly made a strong election manifesto pledge that it would ban hunting trophies. There has been silence from Defra, the department responsible. Please join me in asking no telling your MP to get off his behind & do something about this situation THANK YOU

If you see a swift like this. Pick it up, hold it up, and let it fly off. They can't take off from the ground or flat surfaces. RT this. It could save a swift.
Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:
"It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.
"There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.
"If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice!
"Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity."
Bought OTD in 1971, pretty much on UK release. First thoughts: Sweet Jane, Rock & Roll. Second thoughts: Head Held High, Reason, Train, Cool It Down. The VU as the pop band they never were in their time. MM review by Michael Watts
